Residential trip to Sorrento

Wednesday, April 25, 2018

Twenty four students went on an incredible three night residential trip to Sorrento in the Easter holiday. Students visited the iconic sites of Pompeii
and Herculaneum where they were given extensive knowledge of the sites by expert guides. Students understood the different effects that resulted in
the 79AD eruption witnessing the bodies that have been preserved as a result of the pyroclastic flows. They visited other archaeological sites and
went into the picturesque town of Sorrento and around the Port. On the last day they visited Vesuvius which dominates the Gulf of Naples. Students
walked to the immense crater rim and were able to take in the surroundings and the potential risk faced by the one million people living in the shadow.
Students were enthusiastic and inquisitive about the different sites, enjoyed the Italian food and were exceptional ambassadors for Causeway School.
